Hi all, long time lurker and admirer of the site. I've finally pulled the trigger and picked up one of my all time dream cars. Although a 993 TT would've really taken the cake, I figure baby steps are a good start.
The previous owner took really good care of her, and she passed the PPI with flying colors. Whereas he drove it less than 7k miles in 8 years of ownership, I'm already nearing the 4k mark after 2 months.
So far I've changed out the Turbo twists for some new wheels, revamped the entire sound system, and taken care of some basic maintenance like cleaning out the ISV and getting rid of the climate controll fan "whir" (big thanks to the wizards here at R.L).
Anyways, enough yapping. Hope to learn a lot!
My previous car:
The day I took her home:
Garage Queen :P
How she sits today:

Great color choice. Love the wheels...are those K28s? Tell us more about your ride...it looks lowered. Does it have other upgrades? Judging by mileage you have already driven it sounds like you are enjoying the ride...congrats!

Thanks guys!
The interior is tan, or more correctly "Kaahz mer."
The wheels are 3pc forged DPE S20. 18x11-R and 8.5F with 275/35 and 225/40 respectively.
It was lowered by the previous owner, but I'm unsure what was used. There's a threaded coil over up front but just springs and Bilsteins in back...(?)
ABCar: After searching around I've decided that it has Robin Sun's RSR. MSP intake box, MSP muffler tips, but stock exhausts (that don't sound anything like stock!). Other than that, it's stock. I've got a Schnell front strut bar on order.
Perhaps you guys could point me in the right direction on where to spend this years tax return

I've never seen 11" wheels fitted to a NB, do you have any rubbing?
